- Anthony DiNozzo: [to Ellie Bishop, who is brandishing a baseball bat] What's going on? Is there a rumble between the Sharks and the Jets?
- Anthony DiNozzo: [leaving Autopsy] Clock's ticking.
- Dr. Donald Mallard: Patience is a virtue, Tony.
- Anthony DiNozzo: Not in the Gibbs-iverse.
- Anthony DiNozzo: Always had a problem with the stepmoms. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe, um, I just wasn't being honest with them.
- Leon Vance: Do I look like Dr. Phil to you, Agent DiNozzo?
- Anthony DiNozzo: You've got the mustache.
- [last lines]
- Ellie Bishop: Before I officially start working for you and this becomes frowned upon...
- [Hugs Gibbs. He chuckles]
- Ellie Bishop: I accept, Boss.
- [They shake hands]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Welcome aboard, Probie.
- Leon Vance: I'll loop in the other agencies, get their Parsa experts to provide any more insight into this theory.
- Ellie Bishop: Uh, I can save you the time. FBI, CIA, NSA, they'd all refer you to me. I am the Parsa expert.
- Leon Vance: Just how long has NSA had you on him?
- Ellie Bishop: Six years, Director.
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Excuse me?
- [first lines]
- Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Previously on NCIS...
- Tobias Fornell: You ever hear of a terrorist named Benham Parsa?
- NSA Supervisor Jeremy Marlens: [to Ellie Bishop] T.S. Eliot was wrong. February is the cruelest month.
- [first lines of current episode]
- Ellie Bishop: If you're trying to be stealth, a less pungent cologne would've been a better choice.
- NSA Supervisor Jeremy Marlens: Nobody wears cologne anymore, Bishop. It's body spray. Mountain Musk, I think.
- Ellie Bishop: Well, it's bold.
- NSA Supervisor Jeremy Marlens: I'll accept bold.
- Anthony DiNozzo: True, but that makes us the away team. The scrappy underdogs, the band of misfits with something to prove, Parsa may be Apollo Creed but we're Rocky Balboa.
- Timothy McGee: But Rocky lost to Apollo?
- Anthony DiNozzo: But he won the rematch, and that's what this is. Feel better?
- Timothy McGee: Actually yes. Thanks Tony.
